[OSGeo-Discuss] Earth Observation Open Science and Innovation

[Hogan, Patrick (ARC-PX)]

Dear Open-Source-Minded Gentle Humans,

I wish to draw your attention at once to two areas of possible interest.

1. One is an elegant technical description for ^how^ EarthServer is able to 
tame ^Big EO Data.^ Think datacube!

Fostering Cross-Disciplinary Earth Science Through Datacube Analytics
https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-65633-5_5

Note the platform of choice for www.EarthServer.eu to see this indubitably 
dense data, none other than https://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/

ESA has also standardized on the WebWorldWind platform, a platform ESA and NASA 
are advancing together, for the benefit of all! 

The WorldWind virtual globe has been there as Open Source, years before any 
other, having been around now for well over 15 years. The mission then, as now, 
has always been to get the planet onto one-page for spatial data "because that 
goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills." 
[Kennedy '62]

2. If you want to accelerate at the speed of enlightenment with your spatial 
data, power up with this super-charged starter app, OS all the way! 
http://worldwind.earth/

For just a taste of what ESA is doing with WorldWind:

[Jody Garnett]

Thanks Till, I grabbed the list from the wiki (
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Sponsorship_Opportunities_2018) and
finally made the news announcement. See earlier email discussion
.

To be cross listed sponsors need to ask, there is an example of just such
email on the how to sponsor
 website page.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Student application period for GSoC begins today

[Helmut Kudrnovsky]

Dear Community,

this is a reminder that student application period starts today at 
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=GSoC+2018=20180312T17=136

The application deadline is 27 March.

Students are reminded to use the template at 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_Recommendations_for_Students#Template
 

It is also important that students don’t just submit their proposals, but take 
the time to discuss the proposals with mentors and the community in developers 
mailing lists, and modify them according to the feedback. Remember that the 
earlier you prepare your proposals, the more time you have to get feedback and 
therefore the more chances to get selected. 

Usually last minute, never discussed proposals are not even considered. 

Remember that GSoC is a highly competitive program, so demonstrate your skills, 
be proactive! 

Read more at :
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_Recommendations_for_Students

See also a presentation at https://goo.gl/1EdNnk

Good luck everyone!

We have a lot of small and medium events we should sponsor, not
everyone can travel to the big ones!

[OSGeo-Discuss] GIS applied to municipality management: Certification and links to the complete free course

[Mario Carrera]

Hi all,

the certification of the course about Geographic Information Systems 
applied to municipality management as well as the links to the complete 
course are now available.


This certification period is opened after the publishing of the last 
modules of the course, but it will be open continuously, so that any 
user can get it at any moment when the different modules are finished.


The course is totally free, through 24 videotutorials where the 
different tools available in gvSIG Desktop for municipality management 
are shown, apart from how to use gvSIG Mobile, the mobile application 
for census, inventory, inspections... management. At the end of the 
course there are several modules about gvSIG Online, the integral 
platform to create Spatial Data Infrastructures, that allows to manage a 
municipality internally in an efficient way as well as to publish 
cartography to be consulted by the citizens.


To get this certification, a complete exercise must be completed, and it 
has a minimum cost of € 30, necessary to cover the expenses related to 
the evaluation and certification. The user will get two certificates:


  - Course completion certificate, which will include all the 
information related to the training contents acquired.
  - Official gvSIG User certificate, having completed the 90 credits 
necessary for this.


Both the information about the certification and the links to the 
complete course are available from the gvSIG Blog [1]

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Thank you to all OSGeo: UK chapter volunteers

[Suchith Anand]

Now it is time for our volunteers in Germany (21-24 March 2018) 
https://www.fossgis-konferenz.de/2018/ to spread openness ideas  , then France 
(15-17 May 2018) https://www.osgeo.asso.fr/foss4gfr-2018/programme-en.html   
then colleagues in Portugal   FOSS4G-Europe 2018 (July 17 to 19th, 2018). 
https://foss4g-europe.osgeopt.pt  . What a 
great way to welcome FOSS4G 2018 Global 
http://2018.foss4g.org in Dar es Salaam :-)

The pace of spread of Open ideas in Geo around the world  is truly amazing and 
I thank all our colleagues globally for their help and support for Open 
Principles in Science and Education. I would like to send my thank you to all 
colleagues for sharing and building up GeoForAll ideas through all 
opportunities from  Geospatial Technologies for All [1] to Geography for All 
[2] :-)

Best wishes,

Later this week ( 8th to 9th of March 2018) , OSGeo:UK will be bringing

FOSS4G UK 2018 [1] . I would like to send my thank you to all our amazing 
volunteer colleagues who are working to make FOSS4G:UK 2018 a great success and 
spread openness ideas. Though I am unable to attend FOSS4G UK 2018 (prior 
commitment to CEOS meetings) , I will be there in spirit.


Even the weather is getting better with last few days of snow started clearing 
to welcome FOSS4G in UK :-)


Best wishes,

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo sponsorship opportunities for 2018

[Till Adams]

Dear Jody,

many thanks for this information! Indeed you missed one upcoming event.

In parallel to the OSGeo codesprint from 21.-24.th of March the FOSSGIS
conference will take place in Bonn. We have 450 attendees and with that
one of the bigger events in our OSGeo-calendar.

We have quite some sponsors:

https://www.fossgis-konferenz.de/2018/ (scroll down)

What must we do in order to get these sponsors cross listed as
OSgeo-sponsors?


Thanks, Till
